Daniel Gilbert's prize for Stumbling on Happiness
There are very few countries (including my own - the
US) where a somewhat cheeky book about happiness could win a science
prize - but the British invented intellectual humour and have always
understood that enlightenment and entertainment are natural friends. So
God bless the empire! - Daniel Gilbert (quoted by the BBC) on receiving this year's Royal Society Prize for Science Books for Stumbling on Happiness.
